Good luck in pregnancy, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion has a soft waist
Chapter 207: Treating the Plague
"You are the county lord personally appointed by the Queen Mother. As long as the Queen Mother agrees, I will naturally not stop you."
After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment before slowly stating his final decision, "Go ask the Queen Mother what she thinks."
"Send Princess Changle back to Changping Palace."
The eunuch standing by took the order and left, watching the departing figure with a complicated look.
Shen Muxue knew very well that once she returned to Changping Palace, the Queen Mother would never agree to let her leave again.
Although the emperor seemed to be giving her a chance, in fact, it was just a euphemism for rejecting her request.
After all the hard work to gain some favorability, how could I give up so easily?
Using her eloquence, after some negotiation, Shen Muxue finally persuaded the eunuch Peng who sent her there, to agree to let her go to the city gate to take a look.
Then she turned and walked towards the palace gate, taking firm steps in that direction.
Shortly after stepping out of the palace, before Shen Muxue could even breathe a sigh of relief, Eunuch Peng quickly arranged for his men to inform the emperor of her departure.
Although this move was a bit risky, it also showed his understanding and support for Shen Muxue.
When the ministers in Qilin Hall heard that Princess Changle had disregarded taboos and boldly went to the city gate on her own, their hearts were suddenly filled with complex emotions - they felt a little ashamed, but were also impressed by the fearless spirit of this little girl.
I originally thought that such a young girl would retreat because of fear of imperial power, but unexpectedly, her courage far exceeded that of all the adults present.
When Shen Muxue arrived at her destination, a eunuch just happened to come rushing out of the palace, bringing the latest imperial edict.
After taking this important document, she continued on her way alone and left the city gate area under everyone's surprised gaze.
[Host, according to the current system detection data, your favorability has increased to 60 points.] A voice suddenly appeared in my mind and reminded me.
After hearing this, Shen Muxue asked in a slightly irritated tone, "So you mean that I should turn back now and complete the so-called birth mission directly?"
"You've misunderstood our intentions. We simply wanted to share this good news. For the current situation, it's more important to address the public's emotions first," the other party explained.
This response made Shen Muxue even more depressed. "Why do I always feel that your system is too utilitarian? Is there no real emotion in it? But forget it, I was just mentioning it casually."
"Please believe that we too have our own emotions and are not completely heartless." To clear up the misunderstanding, the voice spoke again patiently.
Faced with such a sincere attitude, Shen Muxue could only helplessly accept this fact, and at the same time, her tone softened a little: "Okay, I will trust your decision, and please don't be angry about this anymore."
Outside the city were military camps and troops transferred from the western suburbs.
In accordance with the agreement previously reached with the commander, those who were sick were isolated and placed in a specific location for management.
This not only makes it easier to care for patients but also prevents the disease from spreading and affecting other people.
After arriving at the scene, Shen Muxue quickly found Duke Anguo and Prince Meng, who were in charge of command and dispatch, and showed them the imperial edict in his hand.
Looking at the scene before them, the father and son smiled at each other. Although they were not real relatives, the nobility and tenacity flowing in the county lord's body obviously came from the same bloodline.
Afterwards, following the footsteps of the experienced Duke Anguo, Shen Muxue began to read out the emperor's decree one location at a time.
After hearing this, everyone present felt a warm force gradually filling the emptiness in their hearts - since the new county lord was able to come and visit everyone in person as the king's representative, it meant that the figure high up in the temple had not completely forgotten the people of this land.
Witnessing the difficult living conditions of the disaster victims around her, Shen Muxue couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in her heart.
The sufferings in the world are often so cruel and realistic. No matter how high or low your status is, everyone must endure the test brought by fate.
"System, you really do have a heart, right?"
Shen Muxue's eyes were full of anticipation and a hint of teasing.
[Absolutely true.] The system's response remained cold and emotionless.
"Then give me the cure for the plague quickly."
She clenched her fists, her eyes filled with determination and resolve.
[I…I…want to exchange it with points, it's quite expensive.] The system seemed a little embarrassed, its tone hesitant.
"Just change it."
Shen Muxue made the decision without hesitation, her eyes firm and resolute.
There were several imperial physicians on duty outside the city gate. Shen Muxue pretended to be very studious and kept asking these imperial physicians various questions about medicine, and mentioned some medicinal materials in the prescriptions intentionally or unintentionally.
These imperial doctors have almost forgotten to eat and sleep in order to find an effective treatment plan. Even if someone says that cow dung can cure the disease, I am afraid they will try it without hesitation.
Sure enough, not long after, several imperial doctors prepared a new type of medicine based on some valuable clues provided by Shen Muxue, and gave it to the sick people.
Surprisingly, the next morning, several patients showed signs of improvement, and some even had their symptoms significantly alleviated.
The news spread quickly, making everyone excited and crying with joy, as if the plague could finally be completely defeated.
After five days of hard work, the epidemic outside the city was effectively under control. Ten days later, all the patients recovered, and the disaster was finally quelled.
Shen Muxue's outstanding performance in this crisis won people's respect and love, and she was thus known as the "female Bodhisattva" among the refugees.
Twenty days later, with the recovery of the last patient, the long-closed city gates finally opened again, people returned to their homes one after another, and the hope of rebuilding their lives began to ignite.
However, considering that the plague may have a hidden stage that has not yet appeared, for safety reasons, Shen Muxue decided not to return to the palace to see the Queen Mother for the time being.
Because in these short twenty days, she spent many unforgettable days with Duke Anguo and the Crown Prince in the process of fighting the disease, making her feel as if she had returned to her happy and unrestrained childhood.
When she returned to the city this time, she followed Duke Anguo to the luxurious and peaceful Shen Mansion in the center of the capital.
When Mrs. Kang saw Shen Muxue's figure appear in front of the mansion gate, the expression on her face instantly became extremely complicated and changeable. Shen Luoxi also reacted in the same way, and his eyes flickered at that moment.
